Forest Fires in Algeria

Scores of forest fires were burning in northern Algeria in late August 2007. Although much of the country is occupied by the Sahara Desert, Mediterranean forests, woodlands, and chaparral occur on the Atlas Mountains that line the coast. The smoke was so thick that the capital, Algiers, is not visible beneath it.
